A LICENSING VIA LOCAL DONGLE

This chapter helps you to license SEE Electrical.

If you work with Administrator and User profiles, there are two procedures for installing and licensing:

 The software must be installed, and the dongle programmed under the Administrator's account.

If the user must log on as main user on the computer, it is enough to fill in, and close the
License wizard.

If the user logs on as "User with limited rights", rights for full access or rights for editing the
main directory and all subdirectories of SEE Electrical must be given from the Administrator.
If you use the "Safe mode" or "Backup"-function, this has to be done also for the folders
'$projects" and "temp" in the SEE Electrical folder. (These folders are not generated on
installation, but are automatically generated on the first execution of the "Safe mode" or
"Backup"-functions.).

If Windows home version is used, it is not possible to enhance the rights for restricted users in
folders. In this case we recommend that you install the program in the folder "My files", because
here even users with restricted rights have enough rights.

 The User profile must receive Administrator rights during the installation and programming of
the dongle. The Administrator rights can be removed after installing and licensing.

A.1. LICENSE SEE ELECTRICAL WITH A DONGLE

A.1.1. LICENSE WITH A DONGLE - INTRODUCTION

A Dongle (Hardlock) can be available as a single-position dongle or as a network dongle. In this

chapter you will find the instruction for licensing with a single-position dongle.

If you are not familiar with the program, we recommend, after licensing with a dongle, to work
through the Workspace Example 1 (in the User Manual) to get a general introduction into the
program.

If SEE Electrical must be used on several computers, license the software on all of the computers as
described below: However, the dongle must be programmed only once, and the plug connection can
be changed afterwards.

A.1.1.a. PROGRAMMING OF THE DONGLE

Remove all other dongles (USB and Parallel)

Plug the SEE Electrical dongle in the USB port of your PC, only after installing the software; because
otherwise the necessary drivers in your system will be missing.

If you have plugged the USB dongle before installing the SEE Electrical software, unplug it from your
computer. Double click to run the HASPUserSetup.exe. You can find this file under the installed
program version of SEE Electrical in the directory "... \ Tools \ HASP Driver". Follow the installation
instructions until successful installation, restart your computer and plug in the port the USB dongle.

▪ After installing SEE Electrical, in the Windows Start menu, select Programs ➤ IGE-XAO
➤ SEE Electrical V8, and run the Program Dongle command.
The following window appears:

▪ Type the dongle license code given in your contract in the "Code" field.
If you need to work with an older version too, get in contact with your delivery department.
▪ Click Program. Your dongle is now programmed. You will receive a message that the
dongle is successfully programmed. If you don't receive this message, repeat the
procedure. If the programming of the dongle fails again, contact us.

A.1.1.b. LICENSE SEE ELECTRICAL SOFTWARE (ON EACH COMPUTER REQUIRED)

If you start SEE Electrical for the first time, the License wizard appears. Enter your company data
here.

Select the type of protection used for your software: "My software is protected with a hardware
key".
After clicking on Finish, you can use SEE Electrical unlimited within your license.

If the dongle is disconnected, SEE electrical cannot work and is automatically closed!

▪ During the installation a PROTECTION:XML file is copied into the SEE Electrical folder.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <PROTECTION_PARAMETERS VERSION="1.0"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
- <TYPE MERGE_LICENSE="NO" HARDWARE="YES" SERVER_SEARCH="NO">
<SERVER_INFO SERVER_NAME="" />
</TYPE>
</PROTECTION_PARAMETERS>

Edit the file with a XML editor and make sure, SERVER_SEARCH is "NO" in case a dongle
(but no network dongle ) is used.

A.2. WHAT TO DO WHEN THE DONGLE IS NOT RECOGNIZED

First, make sure you have programmed the dongle code appropriate to your version. Therefore,
generally use the last code if you have received it from your supplier. A dongle code of an older
version cannot unlock any later version.

If you use a USB dongle single-user dongle (color: green or purple), then it must shine. If on your
USB dongle lights up no lamp, the dongle devices are probably not fully installed. Proceed as follows
to solve the problem:

▪ Unplug the USB dongle from your computer.

▪ Double click to run the HASPUserSetup.exe. You can find this file under the installed
program version of SEE Electrical in the directory "... \ Tools \ HASP Driver".
▪ Follow the installation instructions until successful installation, restart your computer and
plug in the port the USB dongle.

Please check whether you are using another software dongle on the computer. Perhaps this
concerns a HASP dongle of the SafeNet Company (formerly Aladdin).

Rename or move the protection.xml file in the program directory to reset all settings.

For further problems, contact your dealer, so that you may get additional support.

A.2.1. TERMINAL SERVER SUPPORT

SEE Electrical can be used in terminal server environments for licenses licensed via softlock (by
internet or local license server) or FlexLM. It is necessary to license each individual user.
The licensing algorithm detects if the software is used in such an environment and adds user name
to the licensing process. For example, if three users want to use the software in the same time you
will need three licenses..
Dongle protection cannot be used if the software is installed on terminal server. In case the software
is installed on terminal server (or remote desktop, that means in any case where RDP protocol used)
a message informs you in case protection by dongle is chosen.
There is only one exception: If a laptop for example is connected via remote desktop to another
computer (no server) where the dongle is plugged on, the licensing for the laptop will work via
dongle.

A.2.2. DONGLE

The dongle code given for your V8R2 is only valid for V8R2. You cannot use it to work with an older
version.
If you need to work with a version down to V4R1 >= 148 too, contact your delivery department.
